Isn't the second game set in Hong Kong though? Where a ton of people speak English?

A trusted source close to Atlus USA, today revealed to me that Shenmue HD Remaster will be released this year. Both games, Episodes 1 & 2, may be released together rather than separately. They are presumably being geared up for launch to precede Shenmue 3, which could possibly slip into 2018

Fantastic new if true. I highly doubt we will see shenmue 3 until xmas 2018, but 2 remasters to play over a year will be very nice!

The only things i request are analogue controls, less loading times and for it to be in full hd/ widescreen.

I am raging that the game that isnt coming to a console I dont own is taking longer to come out than they said it would when they launched their kickstarter. This is totally unacceptable and they should feel bad.
